Much like how we need to periodically renew our driver’s licence, leaders too need to refresh their knowledge and wisdom when it comes to leadership. Using this apt metaphor, this keynote reminds leaders about the major principles that will allow them to lead in an effective manner. The keynote is adapted from one of Confidence’s books titled “How to get your leadership licence” and it is available as a 45min or 1h30min talk, as well as a half-day workshop.
The success of an organisation depends on the strength of the teams within that organisation. In this keynote, Confidence shares the principles that allow teams to leverage the strengths of each member for collective gain and ultimately build a team that delivers excellence.

Diversity in teams can cause tension and conflict but when you begin seeing it as an asset rather than a liability, it can become a catalyst for massive team success. In this keynote, Confidence shares on the dynamics that diversity creates and how to leverage it to help catapult the team and organisation to a new level. The keynote is adapted from one of Confidence’s books titled “Finding common ground despite different backgrounds” and it is available as a 45min or 1h30min talk, as well as a half-day workshop.
All organisations go through crisis seasons caused either by internal or external factors. The way we view crisis has a major impact on how we react to it, and how we react to it determines the results we’ll derive from it. This keynote gives insight that will help you redefine crisis and see its inherent opportunities. The keynote is adapted from one of Confidence’s books titled “The other side of crisis” and it is available as a 45min or 1h30min talk, as well as a half-day workshop.
Where there is no growth, there is no development. In this keynote, Confidence shares growth principles that are applicable to individuals, teams, and organisations.

When we believe in the leadership potential of our team members and we invest resources in developing that potential, we give our organisations a competitive advantage.

Many leaders focus on the bottom line, often not giving enough attention to the people who make the bottom line possible. When we build the people, the people will build the business.
